Epidemiology Of Bovine Trypanosomosis In Selected Districts Of Benshangul Gumuz Region With Emphasis On Trypanosoma Congolense Trypanocidal Drug Resistance And Alternative Therapy In Mice

For the present study questionnaire survey, cross-sectional and experimental trials were carried out from January - May 2018: to assess the problem of bovine trypanosomosis, to determine the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis; to assess trypanocidal drug resistant and to evaluate the effectiveness of herbal remedies extracted used for the treatment of bovine trypanosomosis. Stata version 12 was used to analysis data collected from the fled and laboratory. For the questionnaire survey 80 individuals were interviewed, focused on the constraints of trypanosomosis in the area. For parasitological survey, blood samples of 430 cattle were examined using buffy coat technique and wet blood smear. The packed cell volume (PCV), of animal sampled on field and in laboratory animals were recorded using hematocrit reader. The level of parasitaemia, body weight, packed cell volume and mean survival period of experimental animals were monitored. The overall prevalence of trypanosomosis in the study area was found to be 7.44% (P = 0.023). The mean PCV value (%) of parasitaemic and aparasitaemic animals during the study period were 23.12% and 26.55% respectively, which is statistically significant (p
